The face of the Indian learning and development industry is changing. With expedited digital transformation, Indian organizations have revamped their approaches to upskill their employees and provide them with learning opportunities to excel in their professional lives. Employee training is not a new phenomenon, yet it is continuing to evolve with corporates embedding technology solutions and preparing their people for what is needed in the future.
The Indian learning and Development space is dominated by B2C SaaS platforms to fulfill the needs of the corporates. Most of the players in this segment are US-based companies offering high-priced packages in addition to the learning content that is not relevant for Indian users – especially for BSFI, behavioral, sales, and leadership training that makes only a 20% to 25% adoption rate. Considering the need to ensure user engagement and relevant content, Skills Caravan – an ed-tech platform enhances corporate learning engagement to 70% to 75% by bringing a B2B learning platform.

Commenting on the present L&D space, Sarita Chand – Founder of Skills Caravan said, “Lifelong learning has become one of the fundamental themes in a digital society. For decades, earning degrees or adult education has allowed professionals to secure an increase in salaries and employment. However, in the digitally driven economy, we at Skills Caravan work at the micro level transformation of professionals through a deliberately curated content library for B2B space that makes learning personalized and highly engaging.”
Powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), the cloud-based Skills Caravan works on an annual subscription model. As per the subscription, the companies pay an annual fee based on the number of employees. The personalization engines of the platform make learning a “Daily toothbrush” habit for Corporate learners. It focuses on byte size learning and its daily micro-learning recommendations (like the Instagram and TikTok reels) have higher adoption rates.
